Cisco Identity Services Engine - Technology 
Partner Ecosystem 

Partner Ecosystem Overview 

The enterprise network continues to grow in complexity, with more connected devices and applications to manage 

than ever before. This increase in devices and applications has led to an increased lack of visibility into who and 

what is connecting to the network as well as increased security concerns, since more devices mean more possible 

ways to compromise the network. IT organizations have generally addressed these security concerns by 

continually adding more security systems and vendors to their networks. 

However, multiple solutions from multiple vendors also produce disconnected repositories of information. All of 

these disparate systems generate disparate data that needs to be manually pieced together to accurately identify a 

network threat and determine which remediating action should be taken. The Cisco

®

 Identity Services Engine (ISE) 

can help simplify and streamline this process. Cisco ISE collects valuable contextual data from across the network 

that can be consolidated and shared across multiple systems and vendors, allowing you to see exactly where the 

root cause of a threat is located. By eliminating the manual, time-consuming process of piecing together disparate 

data from multiple systems, you can pinpoint network threats more quickly and resolve security incidents before 

they cause damage. 

Partner platforms can use the identity, device, and policy information that is generated by Cisco ISE to bring a 

variety of other useful capabilities to users. The integration of these products with Cisco ISE makes it possible for 

these partner solutions to reach into the Cisco network infrastructure and implement network actions on users and 

devices. These include quarantining and blocking access and providing inputs to Cisco ISE for network access 

policy decisions. 

Cisco Platform Exchange Grid and Ecosystem Highlights 

Cisco ISE is the market-leading security policy management platform that unifies and automates secure access 

control to enforce role-based access to networks and network resources. It delivers superior user and device 

visibility and collects a tremendous amount of contextual data from a myriad of sources across the network (for 

example, endpoints, users, Active Directory lists, and network sensors). Integrated within Cisco ISE is the Cisco 

Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid). Cisco pxGrid is a robust context-sharing platform that shares this collected 

contextual data to external and internal ecosystem partner solutions in order to improve their efficacy and 
accelerate these solutions’ capabilities. Partner solutions in the Cisco ISE ecosystem can use this contextual data 

in innovative ways to improve network management and security.
